 THE HUFFINGTON POST 4 Hours Ago Joe Walsh On Concealed Carry: Ex-Illinois Congressman Urges Civil Disobedience, Ignoring Of Gun Ban by  Joseph Erbentraut Former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, long a Tea Party favorite, is urging Illinoisans to "break the law" amid the state's current lack of a concealed carry law. On his blog Friday, Walsh -- who  now has a radio show on the conservative Chicago-based station WIND-AM (560)  --  wrote that "it's time for civil disobedience" because "we're at a point in this stupid state where we need to begin to break the law  ." Walsh pointed to  62-year-old shop owner Luis Quizhpe's baseball bat battle with two armed robbers  as an example of the need for more Chicagoans in particular to legally take arms. "I don't care if we don't have a conceal carry law right now," Walsh wrote. "There isn't a law-abiding citizen in this city that doesn't have the right to protect themselves … and i

 BUSINESSINSIDER.COM 3 Hours Ago CBS: Saudi Man In Custody Was Tackled By Bystanders At Boston Marathon by  Jim Edwards The Saudi Arabian man who is reportedly in police custody following the Boston Marathon bombing was chased and tackled by bystanders shortly after the blast,  according to CBS . Senior correspondent  John Miller , a former assistant director of the FBI, reported this: There is an individual in custody … he is not free to go. He is a Saudi national who was near the scene of the blast. When the blast happened he began to run. Now, in context, a lot of people began to run. A civilian who thought he was acting suspiciously chased him down and tackled him and then turned him over to Boston police, saying, I saw this guy hanging around over there acting suspiciously. And then he ran. That may mean a lot, it may mean nothing at all. Miller added that the man was fully cooperative but was denying any involvement in the bombing.

GOPUSA 6 Hours Ago Gun Laws and One Party Rule WASHINGTON - New this year: South Dakotans can now carry concealed pistols while riding their snowmobiles. And Arkansas and North Dakota residents are now free to bring their guns to church, as long as their pastors say it's all right. A dozen other states also have eliminated some gun restrictions this year. Four states have gone in the opposite direction, tightening their gun laws in the wake of the mass shooting last December in Newtown, Conn. The speedy passage of gun laws in the states reflects the fact that in many of them, one party dominates the political landscape. Following the 2012 elections, a single party now controls both the governor's mansion and the legislature in a whopping 37 states _ sometimes with a nearly unbeatable "supermajority." The result has been a torrent of new laws related not only to guns but other issues ranging from abortion to taxes. The action in the states stands in stark cont

 REASON MAGAZINE 7 Hours Ago Gun Background Check Bill Could Put You in Jail for Exercising Your Right to Free Speech by  Jacob Sullum As J.D. Tuccille  noted  this morning, the background check compromise that was supposed to help save the Senate gun control bill is itself in trouble. A look at the  text of the bill , which Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) unveiled the day after their  announcement , helps explain why. The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act is broader and fuzzier than the legislation described in the press, creating legal risks even for gun owners who are trying to follow the law. News reports said Manchin and Toomey wanted to require background checks for all sales at gun shows and for all "online sales" (a category that does not really exist, since all sales initiated online must be completed in person). Toward those ends, the bill requires that all sales at gun shows be handled by federally licensed dealers, who are

PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 5 Hours Ago White House Threaten GOP Senators: Don’t Filibuster Gun-Control by Jake Hammer Apr 15, 2013Jake Hammer Excerpted from TPM White House spokesman Jay Carney on Monday called on senators not to filibuster gun control legislation, which is on the Senate floor this week. “It is incumbent on the senators to allow a vote” “It is incumbent on the senators to allow a vote,” Carney told reporters during his briefing. Democrats received the necessary 60 votes to begin debate late last week, but will need 60 votes to end debate and proceed to an up-or-down vote after amendments. Carney said President Obama is in contact with lawmakers and will continue to be engaged on Capitol Hill. “You can be sure that he is engaged on this,” he said. He noted that Obama wanted a broader universal background check proposal but called the Manchin-Toomey compromise “welcome and significant bipartisan progress” which would “save lives.”

FOX NEWS 11 Hours Ago High court declines to hear challenge to NY gun law The Supreme Court is staying out of the gun debate for now. The justices on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a strict New York law that makes it difficult for residents to get a license to carry a concealed handgun in public. The court did not comment in turning away an appeal from five state residents and the Second Amendment Foundation. Their lawsuit also drew support from the National Rifle Association and 20 states. The high court action comes amid an intensifying congressional debate on new gun control measures. The issue has resurfaced prominently in Washington in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting that killed 20 children and six adults.

REASON MAGAZINE 10 Hours Ago Gun Background Check Measure Dying a Well-Deserved Death in the Senate U.S. GovernmentThe limp and pointless Senate measure to extend background checks to all sales made at gun shows and personal sales that originate with online listings appears to be losing steam. Democratic Senators from states where people actually care about their self-defense rights appear to be abandoning ship as they realize they're putting their political careers at risk in order to win nothing more than a political fig leaf for the president. And Republicans who might safely vote to gut the Second Amendment face enormous push-back from their pro-gun colleagues. Whatever is a senator to do, except abandon the worthless measure to its fate? As Jacob Sullum has pointed out, licensed gun dealers always have to run background checks, so the "gun show exception" is actually a personal-transfer exception. Applying background checks to personal gun show sales might scoop

THERIGHTSCOOP.COM 8 Hours Ago And so it begins: New York citizens required to register 'assault weapons' with the state today Posted by The Right Scoop on April 15th, 2013 in Politics | Citizens of NY are required to register their ‘assault weapons’ with the state of NY beginning today as the new gun laws go into effect.

 HOTAIR.COM 7 Hours Ago Kerry: All you gun toters are scaring Japanese students, or something by  Ed Morrissey posted at 1:21 pm on April 15, 2013 by Ed Morrissey If you have felt disappointed because Secretary of State John Kerry hasn't yet joined most of his Obama administration colleagues to offer an ignorant opinion on the gun debate, well, this post is for  you . While on a trip to Asia ostensibly to deal with the crisis on the Korean peninsula, Kerry took time out to poll his hosts on their views of gun control: It's difficult to know where to start with this nonsense. First,  as we have repeatedly pointed out , gun deaths have declined each year since the expiration of the nonsensical "assault weapons" ban in 2007, in every category.  You are twice as likely to die from "personal weapons" as from rifles of any kind, according to FBI crime statistics.  Gun ownership levels aren't rapidly changing, and to the extent they are, the correlative drop in

 THEBLAZE.COM 7 Hours Ago The 'One Simple Question' Mayor Bloomberg Will Not Answer for the NRA by  Jonathon M. Seidl The NRA on Monday released 1-minute video  asking "one simple question"  about the now-infamous gun control ad by Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns featuring a father with what appears to be his finger on the trigger of a shotgun: Is it possible he's an actor and not a gun owner like the ad claims? "We've asked Mayors Against Illegal Guns for his identity," the video says. "But so far, no luck." "Every gun owner watching probably noticed the closed bolt, the finger dangerously close to the trigger and the direction the gun is pointing which, particularly in the presence of children, is not responsible firearms handling." "The NRA recommends Mayor Bloomberg use some of his money to sign this man up for one of our industry-standard firearm courses" "The NRA recommends Mayor Bloomberg
